I dunno what the next sensible move would be for a company like Facebook. The risk, I think, is they get muddy by picking a silly direction to expand in ("The Facebook music store!") and it becomes an ugly mishmash. Like Myspace.
yea, I would call that an AOL move.... AOL being the company that owned dialup internet access, email, and IM for the USA prior to broadband. Three fact that they lost it all is one of the greatest examples of leadership failure in business history.
Buying hulu or Netflix would be interesting, though there is the VPPA to contend with.
